Gajar Matar Sabji | Indian Carrot And Peas Curry Recipe | How To Make Gajar Matar Ki Sabji

Gajar Matar sabji is a dry mix of carrots and peas sauteed in oil with spices. A very simple dish to use seasonal veggies and create a flavorful dish. This gajar matar ki sabji is cooked mostly in winters because that's when fresh carrots and peas are available in the market.

Now having frozen vegetables around gives us the freedom to make this anytime throughout the year. But nothing can beat the fresh peas taste. You can check peas and carrot recipes like peas paratha, carrot with spring onion, gajar ka halwa, gajar raita.

I created this north Indian mini thali for BM theme when we had husband's colleague visit.  This was easy to make, it includes

Dal Palak
Coconut Laddu
Gajar Matar Sabji
Roti, Rice, Dil leaves raita, Salad. This will go very well as a side dish with roti and rice.

This gajar matar ki sabji is very simple to cook. Saute chopped carrot and peas with cumin seed, ginger paste with spices like garam masala (kitchen king), red chili powder, coriander powder and turmeric powder. Garnishing with chopped green coriander before serving.
